- Amateur entomologists and illustrators Louisa and Madalene Pasley.
The girls were the youngest of Rear-Admiral Sir Thomas Sabine Pasley’s eleven children. Their father was the Admiral Superintendent of Devonport Dockyard in Plymouth. In 1859, aged 12 and 13 respectively, Louisa and Madalene began drawing an intricate and charming series of illustrations in which they portrayed themselves as middle-aged spinsters pursuing (and being pursued by) realistically rendered but unfeasibly large insects and giant bugs. Their drawing master Mr Mitchell appears in some of the scenes. Educated at home, the girls studied insects in their garden and the drawings demonstrate a detailed knowledge of entomology. Both girls appear to have gone on to marry and have families, abandoning their artwork and their nature studies.

This is a funny little story originally written by a pair of sisters sixteen and twelve years old. It features them running away from governesses and studying entomology (much to the disgust of their older sister). They've drawn themselves as a pair of spinsters lugging around giant bugs.

With narrative and artwork that was actually created in the mid-nineteenth century, Madalene and Louisa opens a window into the Victorian age for young people, while also providing an amusing tale of two young girls who didn't quite fit the model of sweet girlhood abroad in the culture at the time. The artwork is likewise amusing, depicting the eponymous Madalene and Louisa as older spinsters - according to the brief foreword by Time Jeal, a descendent of the sisters, this was part of an inside joke - and capturing their somewhat surreal adventures battling various bugs in an entertaining way. Recommended to readers looking for depictions of Victorian childhood, or interested in Victorian juvenilia.… (más)
